Washngton's Birthday was not an UNI
alleged holiday for Levi j. Taylor, a
prominent young elder of Huntsville.
Early in the morning Deputy Marshal
ii. Whitstone nabbed him in his house,
as he did the two females alleged to be
hsi spouses under the spiritual celestial
and eternal covenant viz, Flora and
Josephine, both the daughters of old
Willard Bingham, himself amenable to
the laws. Taylor-who, by the way, is a

There was rumor on the streets yes
terday afternoon that David Eccles, the
recently elected and still more recently
installed Mayor Of Ogden City, had been
arrested by officers of the United States
Government, presumably on q charge Of
polydamy, word having been sent by

report groundless 1t seems curious that
Dame Fama should wag her hundred

HALEY press for his stand on the ques-
ton of dividing the county of Alturas.
Tuesday was the quietest Washington s
Birthday for years in this town. Most OF
the stores and shops were closed, and
even the saloons might as well have been
closed for what custom there was. The
Ogden brass band did not come out to
enliven the monotony OF the street
silence. They blew all their breath in
(or OUT on election day and are repair
ing and refilling their lungs.
have been told that d. ii. Peery, Jr.
son of our worthy ex-Mayor and ex-mem-
Der of the Utah Legislature, has not gone
to Virginia for naught. He is said to
have gone to his ancestral home for the
purpose OF securing the hand and heart
Of lovely Old Dominion heiress, fol
which achievement, however, he had tc
renounce Mormonism, which is to true
Virginian as poison to babe. The
bride prospective is very wealthy and
accomplished orphan.

The excitement over Bishop Nc
